E Pluribus Unum

The podcast has a schedule now! In the first Monday Mission, a way to bring the level of discourse back to something approaching courtesy: focusing on issues, instead of personal attacks, when disagreeing with someone. This is necessary for our republic to work. It isn't easy, but it is doable. The 5 - 1 Rule is a practical tip for working towards this goal.

A focus on kindness on this belated celebration of World Kindness Day. Kindness to everyone important, but it is often easier to show kindness to those we love. A lesson on kindness, specifically to strangers, from the Biblical Matriarch Rivkah.

How much better would the world be if we all realized - and cared - that our every action affects other people, and it's up to us to make sure it's for the good. And, don't gossip!

Eternal God, we ask Your continued blessings for our country, the United States of
America... that's the beginning of a prayer said weekly at shuls across America. We can extrapolate a lot about unity from the continued recitation of this prayer, no matter who is in office.

Conservatives yearn for smaller government. What do they mean by that phrase and why is it better for everyone if government is limited?

The Torah is chock-full of wisdom. Does one have to be religious, or even a believer in God's existence, to benefit from the wisdom within the Torah? What can the first verse of Torah teach us about combating bigotry?

E Pluribus Unum means "from many, one." That's the goal of this podcast, to help bring our fracturing country to unity through positivity and finding our shared values. We'll also explore the conservative values system and examine culture and politics through the lens of Torah.
